Service Philosophy

Connections to Our Community

At Babies by The Bay, we believe that each child must be respected and valued as an individual to learn and develop to their fullest potential. We aim to provide a learning centre that is responsive to the unique nature of all children, families, staff, and the community and acknowledge and honour the importance of diversity and difference. Parents and families are the most important people in children’s lives and the most significant influence on their learning. The power of partnerships with families is essential to the development of shared goals for children. The formation of such partnerships fosters trust and creates a sense of shared responsibility and collaboration. We play a vital role in shaping the future of children through the provision of high quality care.

Curriculums & Children’s Voices

All educational programs are linked to the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and National QualityFramework (NQS) and are intentional and purposeful in working with the children here at the centre. We believe it is important for our team of educators to be culturally competent and show respect for the many ways of knowing, seeing, and living. We believe in the power of children’s interests as a tool for learning and the importance of providing opportunities and resources to extend upon these interests. Children’s development is viewed holistically and the developmental domains of social, emotional, cognitive, physical and language skills are integrally interwoven into the curriculum. We celebrate the benefits of diversity and have an ability to understand and honour differences. Understanding the rich histories and cultures of Australia enriches us all.
